Models for adding motion to existing images and visual concepts.
One model. Both recommendations.
One model leads both performance and value in the supplied image-to-video comparison.
Arena · supplied snapshot·Supplied Arena snapshot · date pending·How we compare
The same model holds both recommendation positions. Its supplied unit price is approximate and actual billing may vary. Arena scores and prices are from the supplied snapshot. The leaderboard source and snapshot date still need confirmation.
The same workload, with the details that help you choose.

Implementation
Copy a model test, replace the API key with your own, and run.
Copy the Python or cURL test for MiniMax H3. Replace the API-key placeholder with your own key and run.
MiniMax H3 · image to video · Includes a built-in sample image, submits a five-second video test and polls for the video URL.
